It's a brilliant film, Clay. I went to the cinema to see it then bought the D.V.D. when it came out. I told my Sister. She didn't get the story at 1st until I explained. It totally blows the myth that everyone with mental health problems are totally stupid out of the water. It's based on a true story. John Nash was amazing until he started suffering from schizophrenia then when he took his medication he was an amazing mathematician again. I'd definitely recommend it. Russell Crowe does a brilliant job.

thanks for sharing the info lady Ann.

You're welcome, Clay. Russell Crowe is indeed a brilliant actor. I'm very sorry for the late reply. I've only just seen this. I'm still catching up after the P.C. probs which stopped me responding & in some cases seeing what was put or even getting on here which I didn't realise at the time was caused by a slowly dying hard drive on my laptop. I got another 1 & I have no problems getting on. I wrote a poem for you for Wimbledon too which will have to wait for next year now if I remember it. I've got some ideas but they're tied with my writing & are longer & more time-consuming. I missed everyone & had plans.

I will have to catch this movie at some point. Russell Crowe is a brilliant actor.

Well, MTF did it again. General Clay Death called Boss a clown and got a personal attack infraction and a permanent ban for accumulation of infractions.

I tried to reason with TViolation, but it did no good. Mimi also made a statement for them to come to their sensest. In principle, I don't think anyone should be given a permanent ban for accumulation of minor infractions, no matter how many times it occurs.

In the real world, it would be like giving life imprisonment or the death penalty for insulting the town fool over and over again.

There should be a maximum ban time for each category of infractions by severity that gets invoked once a certain amount of infractions is exceeded for the category. A personal attack is considered a relatively minor infraction. The maximum ban time should be no more than a month whether you do it 10 times or 100.

Also, once General Clay Death returned from his first perma-ban, and served his probation period successfully, they should have automatically wiped out all of his minor infractions that had occurred over 2 years before and more. It seems they didn't.

General it's MTF's loss. I think the forum is close to dying anyway. When the Big 3 retire, it will be like a ghost town.

Respectfully,masterclass

By the way general Nekro is way out of line.

You saw how he attacked those 3 posters at the castle. I ordered him to apologize to this 3 posters. And then I left the castle there. And he going crazy. That is a sick individual.

Completely agree general. I mean I remember he was a loose cannon from those days at T4U. But Mimi invited me, you were there, some others, I thought I would give it a chance. But yeah, he went ballistic on one of those users that disagreed with him. From what I could see you told him to calm down. And then he went ballistic on you, then he started demodding everyone. He demodded me even though I missed all the excitement, saying absolutely nothing, apparently for not answering his PMs. Strange, I thought I did. But anyway, I said I would be at the forum intermittently, so... After he did all this, I posted a short statement in MTF Castle, saying that doing all that it looked like he was giving himself a permanent ban by destroying his own forum. Then he banned me. This after saying he wasn't going to ban anyone.

Anyway General, he isn't worth talking about other than a person to stay away from. A forum has to be run by a calmer person with the forum's interests at heart, not his own. On a tennis forum, nobody is going to agree on everything. There are bound to be some conflicts that need to be resolved in a calm manner. You don't get more posters by pissing off a whole host of interested and good posters. He actually wasted a golden opportunity. Eh, his loss.

I must commend you for being a warrior of the highest order general.

you went there as I did to help him. to give him a helping hand. some rabid dogs never learn: he wasted no time in biting my hand and your hand.

once some people saw that you and I were there, a few more came.

but once they saw that they were dealing with a lunatic with a very limited knowledge of the sport of tennis, they started talking about leaving.

you saw what cmchlesea said to him. he said that his forum was nothing more than a shit hole and it was.

he alone has caused all the problems at various forums like tennis frontier and at Tennis4you. he was also a trouble maket at MTF. he kept coming back there under different accounts.

i went to his forum because he begged me to help him. i am too damn kind for my own good at times.

i really should have known better.

and today i find out that he attacked you, lady Divine, and Ann. that is what truly sick people do.

i should have known better. he has done that kind of stuff countless times before.

at any rate, i have to agree with you general: i think MTF is on its last legs once Rafa and Roger exit the sport.

also social media is about to get even bigger than it already is. no way tennis forums can compete with social media avenues.

I find it all a little sad general. Obviously there were those that didn't pay attention to the Castle ideal and the way of the warrior Castle introduction. It should be required reading for posting in the Castle. Then posting in the Castle should naturally follow this guide. Bickering over players is for other threads like MTF GM cesspool Ruins.

I don't like social media like Twitter/Facebook. Maybe I'm a dinosaur. I am not getting younger. My folks are hanging in there at an advanced age. My mom is a big Nadal fan; my step-dad is a Federer fan, but we are all able to get along, because we all know reasonable limits and when to stop discussions from the player fan point of view. . We are quite busy with work, and family, trying to get our kids prepared for life in the real world, helping them where we can, but not over-protecting them.

When I have a little time, (not a whole lot these days), I like to talk tennis with reasonable people. It's a big world and there are lots of interesting people. It would be nice to pull up a chair with some of them like you and others I have "met" online. But others I wouldn't meet in daylight in a room full of people. I don't have time or desire to deal with insanity and extreme aggression.
